To be honest... I'm looking through the entries now that I have time... I... can't tell if half of these entries know the rules of SAO or not... or if we were SUPPOSED to abide by those rules when we entered the contest... For the most part the rules for the contest were really vague.

You're talking about the exclusion of long range weapons right?

Long range weapon's exist. In episode 8, Kirito shot darts at the Ragout Rabbit. Now there are no bows in SAO but we'll just have to wait and see how that turns out for the contest.

...the issue with dual-wield weapons.

I suppose it can't be helped since it IS a major spoiler.

There is also the people who included magic into their character's description.
There is no magic in SAO after all. As well as classes though but yeah... we'll just have to see how this all turns out.

Remember in episode 1 Kirito was shown performing a sword skill with a pebble? That's probably the same reason Kirito can shoot darts. So archery should be legit as long as the explanation is "my character uses sword skills to shoot arrows".

Magic on the other hand is said to not exist in SAO. I think the same goes for healing magic (excluding that used by pet dragons).

That might be that sword skills work when you do the stance while touching the object? Spears should work as spears do, but it's probably too inefficient to throw your weapon around like that in hopes you might be able to retrieve it later before the durability runs out.

There is a sword skill for it. I think the whole throwing of pebble/dart etc would be part of the 'Blade/Knife Throwing' skill that is known and listed as a Combat-Related Sword Skill you can train in the series.

Well, in episode 7, Lizbeth referred to the Elucidator as a "Magic sword" so I guess there is magic, just no magic *spells*, I guess.

I think its a mistranslation I guess cause in the light novel, it never mention the Elucidator as a 'Magic Sword' but as a 'Demon Sword.'

edit* yeah I was rewatching that episode and Liz said 'Maken' which can also be translated as 'Demon Sword'.
my japanese is pretty shitty though so I'm only guessing

Maybe players themselves can't use magic, but magic can be found elsewhere. I mean, what's a dragon if it isn't magic?
